Project Vanguard is a Fangame primarily developed by Ayrei, PrismShrimp, and Rexaura

50 years ago, a devastating attack by a group called "The Defiance" took the world by storm. Today, Trainers are required to gain proper licensing in order to use Pokémon.

Story

Niall and Nephele

You awaken in front of a girl named Destiny, who claims to have found you unconscious in a nearby forest. Other than your own name, all of your memories seem to be lost. With no other options, you accompany Destiny to the Vanguard Academy, a school designed to transform novice Pokémon Trainers, into professionals with the goal of defending the region from threats known as Renegades, Pokémon Trainers who refuse to abide by the new laws set in place.

I was wondering if there's a way to get all the starter's that have variants. I really love them all and want to be able to fill the pokedex at some point. Will that be possible?

Is the main story of this game finished? If not at what point does the demo end? I'm asking this because I'm interested in trying this game out.
